Asamoah Gyan (Rennes)Striker - 24 years oldHürriyet, Sabah, Fanatik

Hürriyet claims that talks are almost finalized with Rennes and that Fenerbahçe are very close to landing Asamoah Gyan. Hürriyet suggests the transfer could happen 'any moment now'. Meanwhile, Sabah rumours that Asamoah Gyan's transfer will be finalized before the new season jerseys come out on Friday. Turkish sports daily Fanatik also rumours that Gyan's transfer will be finalized this week.

Turkish sports dailies Fanatik and Pas Fotomaç cite reports in Italy's Tuttosport which quote Miloš Krasić's agent Marko Naletelić. "The player is available to wait a little bit more for Juventus, the probability of the transfer is at 50%. The only thing we know for sure is that he will leave CSKA Moscow. Miloš wants to go to Juventus, but he currently has a great offer from Fenerbahçe in his hands. However his desire is to go to Italy and play for Juventus," Naletelić told Sky Italia, according to Tuttosport.

A Pas Fotomaç report, also published on Sabah online, cites rumours in Spanish local daily Diario de Navarra that Fenerbahçe have had talks with the agent of Iranian defensive midfielder Javad Nekounam. At Osasuna since 2006, Nekounam has stated he prefers to stay in Spain, however Diario de Navarra suggests the transfer might finalize soon. Javad Nekounam was also recently linked with Greek side Olympiacos.

I'm not saying we should get Gyan, just commented on the penalty stuff. Guiza is a better striker then Gyan. Gyan moves well, strong, fast but Guiza is a better scorer. Gyan is really no better then Guiza is. I say Grafite, Santa Cruz or Gomis.

I dont rate Gyan. He only got Ghana through by scoring a few penalties, and then missed the most important one. I only remember him scoring one goal from open play. Also, the good managers never ever buy a player on the back of a few good performances at a tournament like the world cup. The player values are often inflated overnight by their clubs, plus you only see a player when they are playing out of their skin in the biggest games of their lives. Stephane Guivarch, anyone? So, unless we were tracking Gyan for the last 6 months anyway, and he was identified as just the player we need, we shouldn't bother. It just makes the club look like a bunch of mugs with more money than sense.

Yeah thats in Brazilian league and Italian league. You think an overweight man will be able to do well in the Turkish league?

I'm not denying his goal scoring abilities but he clearly has weight issues and wouldn't last the full 90 in Turkey. A lot of you guys would also start to get annoyed with his lack of pace and movement on the pitch unless the ball is placed precisely at his feet.

hahahaha kozak are you kidding me? Are you really saying brazilian league is a shit league? Thats why Fener got 5 brazilians in the team all imported from Brazil? Stop making a fool of your self kid. Adriano have a big record of goal scoring from Italian league aswell. Get a life forum troll.

And you talking about placing the ball at his feets... Zlatan is same type of player. They need the ball perfect placed at there feet. But i guess you think Zlatan sucks too...

I didn't say Brazilian league is "shit". I said the Brazilian league is the Brazilian league and the Turkish league is the Turkish league. Brazilian league is far less of a strain on your fitness, stamina and physique. I don't even know how you got that I said Brazilian league is "shit".

I may be 17 and still a kid but at least I don't misinterpret what people say.

Adriano has a record of scoring in Italy but not a big one. Maybe at Parma but not at Inter.

Also Zlatan is different to Adriano. So different I can't believe you can compare the two.

I talk about placing the ball at his feet cause all of last season you guys were complaining that Guiza wasn't running and that we need to play fast football.

Lets make something clear khoda,
Keirrison was ripping the Brazilian league in the 2008-2009 season, he went to Barcelona, they sent him on-loan to Fiorentina, he failed there, went back to Brazil on-loan. Ronaldo at the age of 31 scored 9 goals in 20 matches for Milan, at age 33 scored 13 goals in 21 matches for Corinthians (he got older, he also dealed with injuries, he scored more!).
Andre Santos is not fat, maybe he gained a few in the Summer but he will drop them down in the next two weeks by max, but Adriano has is currently fat, and heres a pic that shows you who Adriano is (that pic is before he got bulky) http://globoesporte.globo.com/platb/files/173/2010/03/adriano1.jpg

Kozak: Maybe i read a bit sloppy and missunderstand you. But yet again has always deliverd goals untill he got som personal problems with his fathers death and become an alcholic for a while. Anyway, Guiza didnt just stand still. He runned but he is so weak he cant event take down a ball. He cant get passed anyone 1 vs 1 and he just miss open goals. And thats something Adriano dont do.

And Zlatan had a hugh scoring record in Inter but apparently not good enough in Barcelona. Its all about the team too but Gyan iant a top score superstar and saying he is just missrepresentiv.

Honestly its probably cause our board feel we are way too big a club to accommodate a player like him. He is a great striker, lots of strength, a very strong foot and knows where to be. Its sad that Kayserispor couldn't keep him.

I'd like Makukula here. He scores goals and thats what we so dearly need from our strikers.

Adriano may be fat but his body is better trained then most Turkish players - didn't you guys see Arda one of the best players of the TSL last year? i loved watching Adriano when he played for Inter to bad that his father past away otherwise he would be one of the best strikers atm.
